Description: Dynetics is inviting Charger IEEE to come visit their facilities to learn more about what Dynetics does and possibly go on a tour.IMPORTANT: Dynetics has requested a list of people who will attend and whether they are US Citizens. They require this information since they do work with US Defense. If you are planning attend, you must let us know at ChargerIEEE@gmail.com. Please let us know your name, whether or not you are a US Citizen, and if not, what your nationality is. Non-US citizens may come to the presentation, but if we go on a tour, they might not be able to join. Sorry for any inconvenience that this causes, but hopefully you decide to come!

The IEEE Open House will be on September 10th at 7:00 pm in Engineering Building room 141. During this time, the members of IEEE will show off various projects that we have done, and future projects that we are currently working on or plan to work on.
